Starter Im mo bi li za tion
When you remotely lock the doors, your system immobilizes the starter to prevent a thief
from starting the engine. The engine will remain immobilized even if a thief were to cut power
to the system or find and remove the system control unit.
NOTE: If the remote battery is dead, or if you lose the remotes, turn
your ignition key on and off 5 times. The parking lights will stop
blinking and you may then drive the vehicle.
Please note that starter immobilization does not engage if you lock
the doors with the factory switch or via the car key. Starter
immobilization will only occur when you use the OmniStart remote
control to lock the doors and when the system AutoArms itself (see
AutoArming section below).
User- Selectable AutoArming and AutoArm & Lock
For security, you or your installing Authorized Clifford Dealer can set the system to
automatically engage the starter immobilization if you forget to remotely lock the doors (this
feature is factory set to off). If this AutoArming feature is turned on (via the CliffNet Wizard
software) and you forget to remotely lock after exiting the vehicle, the system automatically
engages the starter immobilization 30 seconds after the doors are closed. For your
convenience, if you re-open any door(s) within the 30-second countdown, the countdown
restarts from the beginning after all doors are closed. Your Clifford system has these additional
features:
n
Visual acknowledgment:
Five seconds after you exit, close all the doors and the
interior light has turned off, the indicator lights flash twice to confirm the countdown
is progressing. Then, 25 seconds later, the system will automatically immobilize the
starter.
n
AutoArm & Lock:
To ensure you can’t accidentally lock your keys inside the car, the
system is factory-set not to lock the doors even if you have the AutoArming feature
turned on. This can be changed via the CliffNet Wizard software (both the
AutoArming feature and the AutoArm & Lock feature must be turned on).
n
Instant AutoArming Bypass:
Prevents AutoArming when fueling the vehicle and
at other times when you wish to temporarily bypass AutoArming. To activate Instant
AutoArming Bypass, rapidly turn the ignition switch to “ON” then “OFF.” You will
hear a beep to confirm that the system will not AutoArm. The system automatically
reverts to normal operation when you next start the engine.
User- Selectable AutoLock and Aut oUn Lock™
NOTE: Some vehicles are incompatible with the AutoLock and
AutoUnLock features.
For your safety and that of your passengers, the doors automatically lock the when the engine
RPMs reach about twice the idle speed. (Or, if you prefer, you or your installing dealer, via
CliffNet Wizard, can set the doors to lock the instant you turn on the ignition). When you
turn the ignition off, AutoUnLock automatically unlocks the doors. If you wish, these features
can turned off altogether via the CliffNet Wizard.
